Udaipur: Dr. P.C. Jain who is active in water harvesting been to Europe tour for seventeen day under the Maharana Pratap Varisth Nagrik Sansthan .During his visit to these countries he closely observed the water conversion & Roof Top Rain water harvesting in these European countries.
In Belgium near the forts the rain water flows due to slope & iron grills pass to the Rain drain.Typically the Foot path also has slope towards the road whose rain water also is collected in the rain drain.
Below the footh path slab there is a round hole through which also the rain water is drained so no collection on road ,no flooding.
Dr jain also observed the farms that the farms are not flooded with rain water as the rain water flows towards the slope of the border of the farm & is collected into a canal which collects all the rain water.
Even the oldest multi story buildings has the out let pipe from roof top which goes down to the ground thus collecting the rain water to the rain drain unlike ours where generally the roof top outlets water falls on the street road & flood it many time eroding roads also.
In Rome the oldest forts & monuments are also having the the roof top rain water harvesting system & small holes on all the floors through which the rain water flows .
Why cant we also save our roads during the rain by adopting such simple techniques so that rain water do not fall directly on the road ?
